dI’d they sort all the problems by 2016
1- chain problems ?

Dude first of. Good job!! That’s an absolute good deed, you have saved many from getting hurt or even killed. Dumb kids driving drunk.

Anyways my two cents in the GL, go for a 450 v6 or GLS550. I hear too many quirks and costs with owning a diesel. Some are lucky.

Sounds like you may have saved some lives. Good work!! ��

From the experiences of members here, the 350 Bluetec is much more problematic than the 320's due to the Adblue/emissions components. Why would you want the diesel? If mileage, the GLS 450 with new transmission is very fuel efficient compared to the 550 and old NA 450.

Wow, might make the post "What model MB can fit my huge brass ***** on the seat?" Well done on the stop.

Eric thats good thinking my friend . You save life that day . And you never thought about yourself ,, but for others .
I think the state should have a whip round to get you a spanking new 4x4 .

Great job Erick. Thanks for sharing that story. Just find one where you can get an aftermarket warranty and you will be fine.

I'd skip the BlueTEC from my experience. They're just not worth it.

Just came across this. Nice work. Some people are just wired for this. 👍🏻

Eric, wow; reading that story gave me chills; I was in the Pentagon on 9/11 and survived only because the desk I was sitting in had windows behind it and not bricks like the 3 other co-workers killed that day. You my friend are truly someone I would go into battle with, please accept my sincere gratitude for your act of kindness.

I was just wondering what vehicle did you end up getting to replace you GLS?

Thanks,
Dennis
